Shipping container solar panel system

A method for portable power generation comprising:

• locating an intermodal container at a desired location;
• pivoting at least one front solar panel assembly about a front bracket secured to an outside surface of a top of the intermodal container into an extended position angular relative to the front of the intermodal container;
• and
• pivoting at least one top solar panel assembly about a top bracket secured to an outside surface of a top of the intermodal container into an extended position angular relative to the top of the intermodal container.

An apparatus for portable power generation comprising:

• an intermodal container having a front, a rear, a top and a bottom and extending between first and second ends;
• at least one front solar panel assembly pivotably connected to the intermodal container proximate to an edge defined between the top and front of the intermodal container so as to be rotatable between a stored position proximate to and substantially parallel to an outside surface of the front of the intermodal container and an extended position angularly rotated upward to an angle relative to the front of the intermodal container;
• and
• at least one top solar panel assembly pivotally connected to the intermodal container proximate to an edge defined between the top and front of the intermodal container so as to be rotatable between a stored position proximate to and substantially parallel to an outside surface of the top of the intermodal container and an extended position angularly rotated upward to an angle relative to the top of the intermodal container.
